Ahhh ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn't ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?

Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was "full refund, no questions asked" which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that's illegal.

A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They've burned any respected reputation they had.

A lawsuit waiting to happen... someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.

Yeh, I'll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it's stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.

• Online discussion: Lemmy
• Private messaging: Signal
• Music: Direct purchase/download
• OS: Any linux flavour
• Mobile OS: Unfortunately needs a little more time...

Yeh, tried ALVR but ran into to many issues to troubleshoot that I just gave up. Figured it might only be a few months wait until Steam sorted something out, give how much effort they have been giving to improving the linux gaming experience.

Exciting. Hopefully Steamlink for Quest on Linuz might be working soon.

Having to install a dual boot to windows again after many years has been such a horrible experience. Modern windows is now just openly hostile to the user, fighting you every step of the way, telling you it knows best and "if you would just submit to it, this whole experience would be better for all of us". Like some nightmare monster created by combining an NSA agent, a control-freak abusive ex, and power hungry dictator, all rolled into one operating system...

Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose...

Purism is dead in the water following the atrocious Librem 5 fiascos.

Never once had a driver issue on Mint. Literally did an entire rebuild (mobo, cpu, gpu, the works). Switched it on, everything worked perfectly, no OS reinstall or driver hunting.

Any issues I’ve heard about, the main culprit is nvidia cause of proprietary crap. Move to AMD graphics and it’s literally plug and play.
